The worst. If you value your time look elsewhere. The staff certainly will. Do you order breakfast to go only to watch 7, YES 7 customers walk in, order, pick up, leave and or sit down with their orders while youre left confused why you got your sourdough boule but have to inquire where the rest of your order is? After a nudge the slug behind the counter just happens to be finishing mine! Too good to be true..... it was getting warmed up. Olay great you could have set my expectations or Asked if I wanted it warmed. Communication??? Grab the sandwich and put the door, one problem..... WRONG ORDER.....welp lets really try something new! So thankful for my dumb luck, lukewarm outside cold inside. Im sorry you said i was waiting for what again? Oh right for the wrong order to touch the oven then get tagged wrapped and bagged to get me out the door. Do yourself a favor and visit the dozens of other fantastic bakeries and eateries in our are! WONT RETURN!

First time there. The were so many delicious looking pastries, that I will definitely return to try more. The buttermilk biscuit with raspberry jam was delicious. Staff was very nice. 2nd visit- Im a huge fan of scones. I got a blueberry scone this morning. Its consistency was that of a blueberry muffin. Good, but not what I wanted or expected. The other scones look the proper consistency and texture. Ill have to try those next time.

We live in Alberta, Canada and had seen a show about the best bakeries in the US and later found ourselves vacationing to Seattle so we thought we would check it out. We were glad that we did. No knowing what to get we ask what was recommended and were told to try the Carne sandwich which was awesome and of course ordered their lemon tart to go. The tart was to die for and well worth the trip. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED......:~)

My husband and I both got breakfast sandwiches. They were too complicated with too many gross add-ins. A simple bacon, egg, and cheese would be better. The bread on my sandwich was not good, which isnt a good sign for a bakery. The bread on his sandwich was good. The sandwiches were $7 and $8. Mine was so gross I didnt even finish it. I can get a delicious ham, egg, and cheese biscuit in Olympia for $3.50.

In my opinion this place has the best cold brew coffee in Seattle. They are probably using a dark roast where most other places are using a light roast. So you can expect a lower acid and deeper richness. Also they make amazing pastries and cakes. In fact we know a couple who got their wedding cakes made here and they were some of the best we have ever had!

Amazing food & bakery! Wish I could give it more stars but the service is really slow....Like molasses slow. The people behind the counter are super nice and attentive so not sure if its a lack of training or not enough people working behind the counter. If the service got better, I could easily give them 4 or 5 stars. Until then Ill stick with 3.

The manager at the sodo location , Ariel, walks around and checks on all the customers -- this above and beyond personal touch really means a lot. As well, the variety and quality of food and beverages here is outstanding. I also really enjoy the owners philosophy and business model. Thanks for such a wonderful place to relax!

Addicted to this place! Free refills on coffee (great coffee at that). There baked goods are amazing. Try the Morning Glory Muffins, Chocolate Orange Coffee Cake, Banana Walnut Bread and the Morning Rolls. They have a scrumptious brunch on the weekends too! Must stop while in SODO.

Coco Puff (dinner roll with chocolate) Blueberry scone. Both tasted like cheap dinner rolls from Safeway with stuff added. People were nice place was nice, parking was easy, wifi did not work. I go to bakeries to get wonderful food, I can buy dinner rolls anywhere.

Love the pastures and breakfast they create. I really enjoy the vibe that I get when I go to get something tasty to eat. Anything you get will be great. Not the best place to go to on Sunday when the Seahawks are playing but is great to go to any other day.

The food was alright, but the coffee was pretty good. I would recommend going there for the coffee and not the food, as the food is overpriced and just average. There is plenty of free parking in the area, though, so its a good place to meet up with others.

Delicious sandwiches, pastries and coffee. Really awesome decor and some sweet wooden door handles. The staff is friendly, and work quickly, but be prepared to wait here as it gets very busy during the lunch hour. Also a little on the pricier side!

Service is slow, food is way over priced and kinda bad that their known for their fresh bread loafs and they dont even slice it for you. I will not be returning. If anybody wants a real bakery in Seattle, try Remo Boraccinis over by Rainier Valley.

Baked and brewed artisan awesomeness. I visit this place several times a week/day for their coffee (which is my all time favorite), but their baked goods are the best around too. Try their weekend brunch as well. You will not be disappointed.

The people were polite the food was good but not Wow. The Quiche was good the Bagel Bacon Scramble, whatever it was was good but the bread was soggy. Over all its was good, will we make a return just for this, No. Once and Done.

I dont hate this place but am so disappointed that my husband got food poisoning on Friday 3/20/15 from the Italian sandwich. This poisoning lasted just over 48 hours. Call the Health Dept and will not be going back.

The barista was pleasant and the coffee was delicious. Unfortunately our first interaction was with the young gal that took our order and she was less than delightful. Condescending and sassy. Wont be going back.

Best coffee in sodo! The delivery department is a stain on the company. Within 8 months over 20 drivers have quit since I started There 5/26 solid drivers. @ScottFrance get on it!!!

One of my favorite bakeries in Seattle. Breakfast egg sandwiches are delicious and huge morning buns are a must try. Easy to access from I-5 and theres always nearby street parking.

My favorite bread in the city but the restaurant leaves a bit to be desired. Not bad but nowhere near great either. Some strange utilization of their base product going on here.

This is the bakery I love for grabbing bread and baked goods for company. You can never go wrong with their brioche! We also stop by for delicious brunch options on the weekend.

Great service. Excellent food - sandwiches are worrh the wait. It is open on Saturdays even though web page shows it open. Glad I drove by on Saturday to get my Macrina hit.

Ive got nothing but love for Macrina. The Roly Poly is my fave, as is the Dill Scone, for a small afternoon snack. Their coffee is solid. Love the good vibes of this place.

Bread is the best, sandwiches left a little to be desired. Got the bahn mi (dont know why) and it was very bland. I guess i was expecting a paseo like flavor bomb.
